McQuesten Brook Geomorphic Assessment and Watershed Restoration Plan
Back to Project 
For the New Hampshire Rivers Council, CEI prepared a Geomorphic Assessment and Watershed Restoration Plan for McQuesten Brook in Manchester/Bedford, NH. Despite chloride and dissolved oxygen impairments, the Brook’s base flow and favorable in-stream temperatures have sustained a robust population of eastern brook trout. The geomorphic assessment and restoration plan were
prepared in conformance with a “9-element” watershed-based plan and included: pollutant load modeling, groundwater recharge, and pollutant reduction goals; and identification of BMPs throughout the watershed along with anticipated recharge, pollutant reduction, and construction costs.
